MEET THE ADVISORY BOARD
The Women Leaders Institute is creating a community for women leaders just like yourself.
We want you to be meaningfully connected and supported to achieve your leadership potential.
Let’s not lose momentum after each event or conference. Let’s keep the conversations going. And let’s be honest – connections matter. Genuine, quality connections.
To help you, we have established a global advisory board of leaders and leadership gurus to provide strategic advice and direction to support, grow and connect communities of women leaders across Asia Pacific.
